I enjoyed watching this fast-paced and very informative short TED Talk about the pencil. I learned a lot about the writing utensil that we often take for granted. I have an even deeper appreciation for the pencil now! I am adding this TED Talk to the list of speeches that my students can use as a "role model" for a good speech.
